And God forbid, Captain Waverley, that we of irreproachable lineage should exult over him, when it may be, that in the eighth, ninth, or tenth generation, his progeny may rank, in a manner, with the old gentry of the country. Rank and ancestry, sir, should be the last words in the mouths of us of unblemished race vix ea nostra voco, as Naso saith. My baron-bailie and doer, Mr.
Nello della Pietra survived, to pass the rest of his days in a silence which was never broken." Cary. But Dante says, literally, "small nose," nasetto. So, further on, he says, "masculine nose," maschio naso. [Footnote 16: "Era gi
These men were confident in the things which they practised. But do you walk off to your own affairs and never leave them: go and sit in a corner, and weave syllogisms, and propose them to another. There is not in you the man who can rule a state. TO NASO. When a certain Roman entered with his son and listened to one reading, Epictetus said, This is the method of instruction; and he stopped.
By the merest accident, at a somewhat crowded part, I unluckily elbowed the man into the kennel, and though I apologized in the handsomest way, he must take offense and seek to cut off my life, to extinguish me in primo aevo, as Naso would say.

It is said to have been agreed between them, that Piso should head a revolt in the provinces, whilst the other should attempt to stir up an insurrection at Rome, using as their instruments the Lambrani, and the tribes beyond the Po.
